Recently, Canada's Minister of Immigration, Sean Fraser, stated in an interview that to accelerate the processing of immigration applications, the Immigration Department has hired over 500 new employees and invested CAD 85 million in five key areas of the immigration system.
At the same time, the Immigration Department has also introduced a digital service system to modernize and digitize the application process, allowing applicants to log in and access their case files via mobile phones or computers to stay updated on the latest developments of their applications. This initiative will free up time for staff to process more applications.
Sean Fraser also stated that the Immigration Department will not rest on last year's record achievements; instead, the target for new immigrants this year will increase to approximately 432,000. In the first quarter of this year (January to March), Canada made decisions on over 147,000 permanent resident applications, doubling the number processed in the same period of 2021, and welcomed over 108,000 new immigrants in the first quarter of this year!
When asked about the recent wait times for passport renewals and permanent resident documents, Sean Fraser responded that as pandemic restrictions gradually ease, many citizens are planning their first trips post-pandemic, leading to a significant increase in demand for document renewals. He believes this is a temporary phenomenon, and with the increase in staff at the Immigration Department, this issue will be resolved quickly.
Additionally, Minister Sean Fraser pointed out that Canada is receiving an increasing number of immigration applications, and last year Canada became a popular immigration destination. This trend continues this year, as Canada remains the preferred destination for people applying for immigration in 2022. He noted that Canada's economy is recovering strongly post-pandemic, with 115% of jobs lost during the pandemic having been restored, and the GDP has surpassed pre-pandemic levels, with the unemployment rate reaching a new low. At the same time, Canada is facing a severe labor shortage, necessitating the introduction of new resources to maximize the recovery of the national economy.
As we know, Canada has long faced low birth rates and an aging population, leading to a growing labor shortage, and new immigrants play a positive role in Canada's economic development. In the short term, new immigrants will help stimulate economic activity in Canada and alleviate economic pressures; in the medium to long term, immigration will be key to maintaining Canada's prosperity. It can be said that immigration has always been an important part of Canada's economy, which is why Canada has consistently welcomed new immigrants.
It is evident that Canada's immigration system is visibly getting back on track, and the newly added immigration staff will help the government process immigration applications in Canada more quickly. This is undoubtedly great news for candidates waiting for approval and those intending to immigrate to Canada! Undoubtedly, in the future, Canada will process more immigration applications, and it is highly likely that Canada will achieve its ambitious immigration targets this year! It is foreseeable that, with the efforts of the Immigration Department, under the backdrop of accelerated processing, those intending to immigrate or investors currently processing Canadian immigration will encounter excellent opportunities!
Currently, it is a great time to immigrate to Canada. On February 14, 2022, the Immigration Department announced the "2022-2024 Immigration Levels Plan." Over the next three years, Canada plans to accept a total of over 1.3 million immigrants, significantly increasing immigration targets! A large number of immigration quotas are available to accommodate applicants from diverse backgrounds. Good opportunities are rare, so those intending to immigrate to Canada should act quickly!
